Abstract

An internal combustion engine including an intake passage fuel injection valve for injecting fuel into an intake passage and a cylinder inside fuel injection valve for injecting fuel into a combustion chamber, includes: a fuel pump pressurizing and feeding fuel, which is fed from a fuel tank, to the cylinder inside fuel injection valve; a securing part provided on a cylinder head member of the internal combustion engine to secure the fuel pump; an introducing member having heat conductivity, the introducing member connected to the fuel pump and formed with: a first introducing path for introducing fuel from the fuel tank to the fuel pump; and a second introducing path for introducing fuel from the fuel tank to the intake passage fuel injection valve; and a heat transmitting member transmitting heat between the introducing member and the securing part.

Claims (23)

1. An internal combustion engine which includes: an intake passage fuel injection valve for injecting fuel into an intake passage; and a cylinder inside fuel injection valve for injecting the fuel into a combustion chamber, the internal combustion engine comprising:

a fuel pump which is configured to pressurize and feed the fuel, which is fed from a fuel tank, to the cylinder inside fuel injection valve;

a securing part which is provided on a cylinder head member of the internal combustion engine to secure the fuel pump;

an introducing member having heat conductivity, the introducing member being connected to the fuel pump, and being formed with: a first introducing path for introducing the fuel from the fuel tank to the fuel pump; and a second introducing path for introducing the fuel from the fuel tank to the intake passage fuel injection valve; and

a heat transmitting member which is configured to transmit heat between the introducing member and the securing part,

wherein

the introducing member is a polyhedral body having heat conductivity which is fixed to the fuel pump with a bolt,

at least one face of the polyhedral body is in face contact with a face portion of the securing part, and

a passage for passing the fuel which is introduced from the first introducing path to the second introducing path is provided in an outer peripheral part of the bolt.

2. The internal combustion engine according to claim 1 , wherein

the introducing member is connected to the fuel pump, and

the heat transmitting member is in contact with the securing part to restrict rotation of the introducing member with respect to the fuel pump.

3. The internal combustion engine according to claim 1 , wherein

the heat transmitting member is formed by extending a part of the introducing member toward the face portion, and is in face contact with the face portion.

4. An internal combustion engine which includes: an intake passage fuel injection valve for injecting fuel into an intake passage; and a cylinder inside fuel injection valve for injecting the fuel into a combustion chamber, the internal combustion engine comprising:

a fuel pump which is configured to pressurize and feed the fuel, which is fed from a fuel tank, to the cylinder inside fuel injection valve;

a securing part which is provided on a cylinder head member of the internal combustion engine to secure the fuel pump;

an introducing member having heat conductivity, the introducing member being connected to the fuel pump, and being formed with: a first introducing path for introducing the fuel from the fuel tank to the fuel pump; and a second introducing path for introducing the fuel from the fuel tank to the intake passage fuel injection valve; and

a heat transmitting member which is configured to transmit heat between the introducing member and the securing part,

wherein

the introducing member is a polyhedral body having heat conductivity which is fixed to the fuel pump with a bolt,

at least one face of the polyhedral body is in face contact with a face portion of the securing part, and

a fuel feeding passage from the fuel tank is branched inside the introducing member thereby to form the first introducing path and the second introducing path, and a passage for passing the fuel which is fed from the first introducing path to the fuel pump is provided inside the bolt.
